Blizzard Unveils Wrath of the Lich King Cinematic

Posted by Soulskill on from the looks-pretty-cool dept.

Today at the Leipzig Games Convention, Blizzard released the opening cinematic for the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion to World of Warcraft. The cinematic is available on the official site via streaming video or the Blizzard downloader. There's a mirror over at 1Up. As with all Blizzard cinematics, it looks fantastic.

    I have to hand it to Blizzard, their trailers are always of such awesome quality.

    It instantly made me want to renew my account again. Must.... resist.....

    Please Blizzard, stop doing this to me!

    The story doesn't end, ever.

    Although..
    10 million paying customers and then suddenly a last final patch... "The destruction of Azeroth"
    "Sorry guys, the story ends here, game over, you won!"

    That would be awesome *eg*

    Blizzard could just pick up Edwin Starr's song: WAR, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing...
